Get blood, DNA and hormones

Start by making some sampling syringes. You can create the smallest one from the player's bracelet list, engram unlocked at level 20.

Place the syringe into the inventory of the desired creature and use "Draw Blood" from the context menu. The extracted sample will be placed in the creature's inventory.

You can extract blood from your own tames, or you can collect blood from wild creatures. Wildlife needs to be unconscious before extraction.

You should then craft the Pheromone Laboratory for DNA or Hormone Extraction, which is unlocked at level 40. Place the sample into the lab inventory and use the "Start Extraction" option in the UI. Extraction occurs over time.

By default, the lab will extract 2 DNAs from a blood sample. This can be toggled on the lab's UI to produce hormones.

Crafting and Upgrading Features

Once you have some DNA, you can start making traits.

They have 2 main types, skill traits and status traits. There are 2 sub-types of skill characteristics, active and passive.

When crafting status traits, you have a 25% chance of gaining skill traits.

Each creature has at least one skill trait you can gain. All have 3 potency levels and can be upgraded once you obtain 2 of the same type.

When you get 2 of the same type, get the trait from the workbench inventory and activate its radial menu.

From there select the Transmutation menu. A new inventory screen will open where you can place features.

After placing at least 2 of the same type in your inventory, the "Convert" button will be enabled.

You can then transform to upgrade traits and gain higher potency traits.

The new potency level will be the sum of the potencies of the traits used.
